Recent advances in electrocatalysis with phthalocyanines

Abstract

This review provides a timely and comprehensive overview of the recent progresses in the synthesis and application of phthalocyanine-based heterogeneous electrocatalysts, as well as the structure/composition–catalytic activity relationship, and future prospects.

Steady/transient state spectral researches on the solvent-triggered and photo-induced novel properties of metal-coordinated phthalocyanines

“…The high electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activities of MPcs can be attributed to the unsaturated low-coordination environment of the central metal ions coordinated to four isoindole subunits. 15 Current researches focus on the physical and chemical properties of metal phthalocyanines with side chains under non-photoexcited conditions. Although it has been shown that the central metal in MPcs played an important role in various photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reactions, the precise control by light or solvent effects is required to develop a deeper understanding.…”

Metalated covalent organic frameworks: from synthetic strategies to diverse applications

“…In addition to cobalt porphyrin, cobalt phthalocyanine, which also has CoN 4 active sites, is also an effective molecular catalyst for CO 2 RR. 552,553 Since 2020, several examples of 2D cobalt phthalocyanine-COFs for CO 2 RR have been reported. 147,212,216,220 In these COFs, the metallophthalocyanines are connected by strong covalent bonds, including phenazine, imide, and dioxin linkages, to form robust planar sql lattices.…”

Recent Advances in Phthalocyanine and Porphyrin-Based Materials as Active Layers for Nitric Oxide Chemical Sensors

“…It is known that MPc sensors are used to detect H 2 , NH 3 and H 2 S gases, which are biomarkers of such diseases as malabsorption, kidney failure and halitosis [ 43 , 44 , 45 ]. The high catalytic activity of phthalocyanine and porphyrin complexes can be attributed to the unsaturated low-coordination environment of central metal ions coordinated with four isoindole subunits [ 46 ]. Their catalytic activity in the process of NO oxidation is reflected in most cases by a negative shift of the oxidation voltammetric feature of NO by ca.…”
